Mauricio Campana Nonino | Somebody knows if it has a limit for the size of the executable in Windows 98? My program exceeded this limit and now it does not function more in
this OS. Thanks for any help. Mauricio Campana Nonino Nonino Software |

There is a limit: 10 Mb We exceeded this limit also. There are several options: + strip code , or rewrite (parts of) your code to reduce the amount of code. + use BPL / DLL (this is what we did) + drop Win95/Win98/WinME systems and only use Win2000, WinXP and Vista (the old one's are not supported by Microsoft anyway) regards, Erik "Tim Young [Elevate Software]" <timyoung@elevatesoft.com> schreef in bericht news:5A63BF6C-89F8-4779-B803-0A8BFC629045@news.elevatesoft.com... > Mauricio, > > << Somebody knows if it has a limit for the size of the executable in > Windows 98?

<<There is a limit: 10 Mb We exceeded this limit also.>> Yes, that's what I thought. Application runs fine on 9.8 Mb, but no longer works when 10.1 Mb. I'll see what I can do. Thanks for sharing. Mauricio Campana Nonino Nonino Software |

"Harry de Boer" | We use ASPack. Cheap, reliable, protects your code and as an average it
reduces the exe's size to 30% Regards, Harry "Erik" <bellaard@wega.nl> schreef in bericht news:44418A13-FD1F-40CF-9B21-6458E89B54AA@news.elevatesoft.com... > Mauricio > > There is a limit: 10 Mb > We exceeded this limit also. > > There are several options: > + strip code , or rewrite (parts of) your code to reduce the amount of code. > + use BPL / DLL (this is what we did) > + drop Win95/Win98/WinME systems and only use Win2000, WinXP and Vista (the > old one's are not supported by Microsoft anyway) > > > regards, > > Erik > > "Tim Young [Elevate Software]" <timyoung@elevatesoft.com> schreef in bericht > news:5A63BF6C-89F8-4779-B803-0A8BFC629045@news.elevatesoft.com... > > Mauricio, > > > > << Somebody knows if it has a limit for the size of the executable in > > Windows 98?

try using UPX. http://upx.sourceforge.net It is a executable compress (and still runnable). It is free. I´ve been using UPX since 2003 without any problems. Eduardo |

<< There is a limit: 10 Mb We exceeded this limit also. >> Do you have a link to MS for this ? I'm just curious as to what the magic is behind 10Mb. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

Mauricio Campana Nonino | Hello everybody.
Just an important update: it was just a coincidence software stop to execute on 10 mbytes. The problem is related to: "...but Win9x has a limit on the number and total size of named resources in an executable (forms are named resources, for example). The only cure is to split the application into several executables since this is a per-executable limit. The first step is to build the application with run-time packages.." Thanks all for the sugestions, Mauricio Campana Nonino Nonino Software |
